MG10 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) My prediction is 300M in Usa/Canada, 300/400M Overseas and then 100M in China In my market in particular (Italy) I can see it reaching 10M, two times more than Detective Pikachu And does anyone know how much can we expect from Japan?

Japan is a hard market to read. There has never been a hollywood adaptation of a japanese property that became popular in Japan. Even generally well-received films like Sonic absolutely cratered in Japan. A realistic good target is something in the 3-5b range ( 22~37 on current ER), which puts it into the high end of illumination films. If you're feeling really, really bullish you could go for 10b I suppose, but I don't think many people that follow the market would follow you on that one. I certainly wouldn't, anyway. But like I said, Japan is a hard market to read. No one would've bet a penny on Frozen being as big as it was here. So if you're feeling it, go for it, I guess.

Yeah I was thinking about a 5B yen (35/40M dollars) target even if it may be a bit too high, which would definitely be more than what Detective Pikachu did even though I'm not sure about its gross in yen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonic isn't the best example since the franchise isn't all that popular in Japan (at least not until Frontiers) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hollywood take on a japanese IP has never been popular in Japan. They all did between meh and straight up bomb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorkingonaName Posted Thursday at 12:15 PM Share Posted Thursday at 12:15 PM I could see this underperforming in my market (Aus) because Nintendo was never as big here outside of the wii and DS era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
